I started back in 1993 with creating fake war wounds and two years later I
had already made my first bodypaint, which was not more than a jeans and a
t-shirt.

Later, in 2000, for the first time in my life, I was invited to an erotic
show to do a performance. Since 2003 I created a certain, very personal
style of bodypainting. From that point I started to participate in some
price - winning events, with success.

Since I started with bodypainting, it has taken a huge part of my life; it
became an obsession, a passion. I started to realize that bodypainting was
more than something erotic, for me it's ART!
That's why I always find my inspiration in movies ( f.e: Alien vs. Predator,
Ice Age and other Disney pictures) and other art-scenes.

In 2006 I met Gilbert Verhaeren, a Belgian photographer. His pictures gave
my bodypaints a new dimension, which I had never seen before. Together with
Gilbert, and model Dirk Hesse, I started to build some new projects, such as
'The Viking'. From that point Gilbert and Dirk became my advisers.

Since 2007 I started to create my own backgrounds for my bodypaint photo
shoots.
An example of this project you can find in one of the attachments.
